Better bang for the buck would be the World Models Super Stunt 40 or 60, at $99 and $199 each. Nowhere near as popular as the H9 Ultra Stiks but IMHO better in construction in some aspects (e.g. 2-piece wing with alum. tube joiner on the 60 version). If you put them up side-by-side, they are actually more similar in size to the UltraStik 60 and 1.20, but the Super Stunts are built even lighter so less power is required. I personally don't like the tricycle gear and converted both of mine to taildragger, but WM designed them precisely for the newbie just got comfortable with a 40 Trainer and don't want to take a leap into taildragger yet.

Then again, you really can't go wrong with any of these Stiks for a second plane. The only ones that are iffey is probably the Model Tech and Vmar versions.
